Abstract: Non-human animal compression therapy devices and methods. In some embodiments, the compression therapy devices includes one or more sleeves, each of the one or more sleeves being configured to fit a limb of a non-human animal, and each of the one or more sleeves comprising one or more inflatable chambers; and a controllable air source operably connected with the one or more inflatable chambers and configured to controllably inflate and deflate the one or more inflatable chambers. In some embodiments, at least one cycle of inflating and deflating of the one or more chambers starts by inflating the most distal chamber. In some embodiments, the compression therapy is given to eliminate or ease suffering from a disease or disorder or a sporting or work-related injury.

Abstract: A device for compression therapy of a subject's body part including a compression sleeve configured to be surroundingly engageable with the body part, the sleeve having at least one bladder configured to be inflated and deflated such that an enhanced circulation is achieved and a controller configured to calculate a change in the volume of the body part by determining a change in a time required for inflating the at least one bladder from a predetermined vacuum level to a predetermined pressure level obtained during at least two inflation cycles; and to control operation of the compression sleeve based at least on the calculated change in the volume of the body part.

Abstract: A pneumomassage device, and method of using the device, which includes a sleeve sized to cover a first and a second adjacent body parts and an anatomical joint therebetween; and a securing assembly for securing the first and the second adjacent body parts in a fixed position relative to one another, to allow sleeve adjustment to the lengths of the adjacent body part.

Abstract: There is provided herein, a valve for filling of at least one fluid cell of a pressure device, the valve comprising: a multiplicity of chambers; at least one elastic membrane having a varying physical property along at least one dimension thereof, the at least one elastic membrane configured to cover one or more of the multiplicity of chambers to cause varying pressure among the multiplicity of chambers; at least one membrane fluid inlet configured to provide fluid so as to apply pressure on one side of the at least one elastic membrane; at least one chamber fluid inlet configured to provide fluid to at least one of the multiplicity of chambers and apply pressure to the other side of the at least one elastic membrane; and at least one chamber fluid outlet configured to allow fluid to exit from at least one of the multiplicity of chambers to at least one fluid cell of a pressure device.

Abstract: A compression bag having an upper portion for applying a pressure at least to the abdominal area of a patient, and a lower portion for applying a pressure to at least a part of the patient's legs, the bag comprising a back part, a second, front part and a closure means configured for detachably attaching the parts to each other; a separating insert configured for being detachably attached to at least one of the back and front parts of the bag, at least at the lower portion of the bag, to separate between left and right regions of the first and second parts, thereby forming pants in said bag defined by said regions and said insert; and a plurality of inflatable cells in the first and second parts of the bag and in the separating insert, that are sealingly separated from adjacent inflatable cells and configured to be individually inflated and deflated.

Abstract: A disposable sleeve for compression therapy including a first wall to be located adjacent a patient's body to be treated and a second wall to be spaced from the patient body by the first wall, each of the walls comprising an internal layer made of an airtight material and an external layer disposed adjacent to the internal layer and made of a porous material, the internal layers of the two walls facing each other, all of the layers bonded to each other along bonding seams and free of such bonding at locations spaced from the bonding seams; and airtight cells defined between the walls, bound by the bonding seams and configured for being inflated, and at least one non-inflatable area spaced from adjacent cells by at least one bonding seam and having one or more through holes formed in the internal layer of each of the walls.

Abstract: A disposable sleeve for compression therapy, with at least one inflatable air cell defined between a first airtight wall adjacent a patient's body to be treated and a second airtight wall. Each of the first and second walls includes an external porous layer and an internal layer including air-tight polyethylene (PE). The walls are bonded by molten portions of the PE internal layer penetrating and set in their corresponding external porous layers and welded to each other, the bonding enduring at least 250 inflation-deflation cycles associated with the therapy.

Abstract: A multi-port rotary disc valve adapted to allow fluid flow from at least one fluid source to a plurality of destinations, comprises a stator with fluid flow ports including a plurality of individual ports and at least one common port. Each of the individual ports is adapted for fluid communication with at least one of the destinations, and the one common port is adapted for fluid communication with the source. The individual ports are arranged in spaced apart relationship within an individual ports' stator sector having a stator sector angular length. The valve further comprises a rotor having at least a first, a second and a third rotor sector with channels arranged therein, being opened to the atmosphere or adapted to connect the fluid flow ports of the stator between them in a plurality of predetermined combinations.

Abstract: According to the present invention there is provided an inflation/deflation system for a dilatation balloon comprising a receptacle, a pressure member, a sensing system and a data processing and display unit. The receptacle is adapted to contain an inflation fluid to be introduced into the balloon during its inflation. The receptacle also has an inlet/outlet port adapted for connection to the dilatation balloon; The pressure member is adapted to be axially displaced within the receptacle to cause the fluid to exit the receptacle via the outlet port. The sensing system comprises a first sensor and a second sensor. The first sensor is associated with the pressure member to sense its axial displacement. The second sensor is associated with the interior of the receptacle to sense in a non-contact manner the pressure P of the inflation fluid within the receptacle, and to provide a corresponding data signal.
